A father is pulling his child on a sled in the snow. According to Newton’s Third Law, the force the father exerts

on the sled is equal to the force the sled exerts on the father but opposite in direction. How is it possible that the

father can pull the child and sled forward?

The father and sled are not acting on the same object.

The father's action is equal to the sled's reaction, but the action causes the change because the sled is more apt to be changed than the father.
